 Group Services, Panels and Seminars
- Teen Voices/Teen Choices focuses on reducing pregnancy and dating violence among Orange County teens by empowering them to make responsible choices. Comprised of four integrated components, Teen Voices, Teen Choices strives to meet the needs and challenges that face teens today.
- Teen Pregnancy Prevention Panels – Trained teen parents speak frankly to groups of students about the reality of teen parenthood. Panelists speak out to educate others about the overwhelming challenges faced through teen pregnancy, parenting responsibilities, continuing their education, and developing healthy relationships. Students realize the impact of their own behavior by hearing how our panelists’ lives have changed.
- Baby Think It Over – Our program provides a hands on, experiential approach to teen pregnancy prevention by demonstrating the responsibilities and, sometimes, burdens of parenthood through a computerized simulator doll. Teens spend the weekend caring for “an infant” designed to replicate the needs of a newborn baby.
- Teen Dating Violence Prevention Panels – Trained teens discuss their experiences in abusive relationships, helping other teens recognize warning signs so they can avoid unhealthy relationships. Key to this presentation is a discussion on how to get help for someone in an abusive relationship and offers safety tips for dating.
- “Reach for the Stars” Young Mother Mentoring Day gathers Orange County’s female business and community leaders together for a one-day seminar to mentor and inspire at-risk young mothers about goals, careers and overcoming life’s hardships.
- Helping Kids Cope is a one-time co-parenting workshop designed to teach parents how to minimize the negative and potentially long-term effects of parental separation or divorce on their children and how to develop the skills needed to form a workable, co-parenting relationship.
- Family Group Decision Making utilizes a family-centered intervention model that brings families, extended family members, foster parents, and community support systems together to develop a family plan to ensure the best care and protection of children.
